89 XT600 Clutch Adjustment

I'm having a hard time finding neutral and shifting my '89 XT600. It isn't too bad, but just doesn't seem "Normal."

I've adjusted the cable and it doesn't help, so I'm guessing I need to adjust the mechanism. I've tried to find the procedure online and can't find anything. I have the XT600E and I'm guessing the procedure is similar for my non-"E." other than the clutch is on the other side.

Can I adjust the clutch without taking the cover off? I'm working in Moldova and there isn't a Yamaha dealer here and getting gasket shipped to me will take a month, $$$ and headaches. There are two spin off "things" on the cover in what seems to be the right location for adjusting the mechanism. Can it really be that simple?

Thanks!

Ryan
